Were you born in Sweden? Do either of you even speak Swedish? Go to a Swedish Lutheran Church? Anything? Definition of Swede: A person from Sweden. Sorry, but being from Ballard, Seattle, USA does not equal Sweden. LOL. How about, "Geeky Americans of some Swedish ancestry amongst other things living in a neighborhood that highly exagerrates its ethnic character"?

I know this is a very sensitive story and a lot of people knew the boys. I did not know them personally, but I did chaperon the graduation night party the year they graduated and I do remember one of the boys just from that night. He was so excited to be graduating and becoming part of the adult world. It is so tradgic for his family and the other families that they are gone so young. So many of the comments are useless and unthoughtful please get rid of them. I have children that are still in Highschool and this could be one of them or their friends. How would you feel if it were your child or one of their friends? Cory and Kate,

This service strikes me as a revenue opportunity for MB. After all, how many of the Seatimes million readers knew the deceased? It's a neighborhood thing.

Thank you for closing down the trash California site (which evolved to trash anyone else who is not from Ballard. If I recall correctly–but her posts are so very numerous that I can't remember them all–she, I think, is unemployed, apparently from Ballard, and has posted overwhelmingly negative about anyone not from Ballard.

And this thread seems to have been maybe (hopefully not) resurrected with the Howdy post.

Just a comment–MyBallard gets quite a bit of comment on the street and the bus–and it's mostly on the (negative) trashing of posting of comments in the last couple of months. There seems to be about 5 posters who dominate, and it really is mostly negative about anyone else who posts a comment that might offer another opinion.

Again, just my opinion–but I'm sorry to see this MyBallard go down hill so fast.

And since I believe I am posting to the Geeky Swedes (oh yes, I'm the Proud Hawaiian and Proud Middle Easterner–the term “geeky” was not even invented when I was your ages!), I don't expect this post to show up on the forum.
